Questions to Consider Are our school’s priorities (from your strategic plan) reflected in this budget? Are new positions and/or resources included in the budget to address our major priorities? Do we know (as a team) the plan to support implementation of these priorities beyond the budget (ex. What strategies will be implemented)? What tradeoffs are being made in order to support these priorities? 2. How are district and cluster priorities reflected in our budget? Cluster priorities- what staff, materials, etc. are dedicated to supporting our cluster’s priorities? Signature programs- what staff, materials, etc. are dedicated to supporting our signature program? Are there positions our school will share with another school, i.e. nurse, counselor? CHAIR - Our final task for today! Here are questions that we need to consider to ensure we have a good working draft budget. Let’s walk through them together.
